    Red Line CV-2 Grease

    Experience unparalleled performance with Red Line CV-2 Grease, expertly crafted to endure extreme temperatures and pressures found in high-performance wheel bearings and CV-joints. This premium grease surpasses both conventional and synthetic options with its exceptional high-temperature stability, superior extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance. Operating effectively in temperatures spanning from -100°F to 500°F, it offers outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance, minimal evaporation and oil separation, and has minimal impact on rubber seals. Expect a remarkable 200% to 800% increase in bearing life due to the exceptional extreme-pressure performance and synthetic oil fluidity. Its red moly compound outshines black moly disulfide lubricants, ensuring superior lubrication.

    Red Line CV-2 Grease finds application not only in automotive settings but also in industrial environments. It excels in high-temperature alternator bearings, high-speed ball bearings, conveyor bearings, worm gear drives, servo mechanisms, and other scenarios prone to fretting wear and corrosion. Its consistency and extreme-pressure performance endure high-temperature and high-shear conditions, extending the performance life of lubricated components. Despite darkening after high-temperature use, its efficacy remains unaffected. While compatible with some petroleum-based greases, it's recommended to clean out old grease thoroughly for optimal lubrication performance and to avoid grease incompatibility.

    Product features:

    • Outperforms conventional or synthetic greases and lubes
    • Endures extreme temperatures and pressures in various automotive components
    • Excellent high-temperature stability, extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance
    • Operates within temperatures ranging from -100°F to 500°F
    • Resistant to oxidation and corrosion, with minimal evaporation and oil separation affecting rubber seals
    • Contains organic moly for chassis lubrication and high temp/high-speed industrial equipment
    • Synthetic fluidity increases bearing life up to 200%
    • Darkening after high-temp use doesn't impact performance
